Tekton Electron SE


I had a pair of Tekton Double Impacts that I sold when I moved to a smaller home. After a year of evaluating various smaller speakers I decided to go back to Tekton but with the more compact Electron SE. In my room these speakers work perfectly. The bass on these smaller speakers is unbelievably deep and tight. I miss none of the punch from the bigger Double Impacts. On mine's I used a single Beryllium tweeter on the middle of the array. The tops on these are very extended and crisp clear more so than the DBs. The imaging and sweet-spot is electrostatic-like with excellent ability to present the faintest details in a recording. In my appreciation other than the ability to convey a "bigger" bass the Electrons have a more refined sound and the bass in my room is more than sufficient with a tighter presntation than that of the DB's. Feel free to send questions if you have any.

Speakers are inanimate objects.  It’s people that are the source of both love and hate. 
Regarding internet marketing these days,  it is very interesting and makes one wonder. 
I bought my wife a massage gun on Amazon.  Lots of good reviews.  It is a very nice product and works as advertised so far.  Thing is the seller includes a card asking for an “honest” review on Amazon for a $40 Amazon gift card.  That’s for a product that only cost about $100 to start with.  Nice incentive in exchange for an honest review.  Is that kosher?  Or just good marketing?   It’s a hard call.  No doubt that product gets a lot more good reviews published as a result.  
Just saying.  I understand all the skepticism.  People should really not let it bother them.  Just state the facts.  You have no control over what others think about it.  It is an open forum so be assured the responses can vary widely.

I don’t think any two product lines could be much more different. One look will tell you that. No mistaking one for the other.

I’ve heard various Zu mostly pricey Essence in both larger and smaller rooms. I’ve heard only Tekton Double Impact in similar size small room.

I like Zu aesthetics and always want to like them but have yet to have them draw me in. I think the amps used every time at a show has been underpowered though. At both Zu and Tekton demos at shows they seem to want to highlight the ability to run off flea powered tube amps which are probably underpowered for best results with either.

Zu demos I have heard all seem to lack dynamics. Nice for some music but bland for others like classic rock.

The Double Impact actually performed admirably at that one demo. It was sound I might be able to live with. But not the giant boxes in that small room.

Now if the Tekton sound came out of the Zus, then I would really take notice.
I’ve heard both Zu multiple times and Tekton at shows.  The answer is no.  Night and day differences.
